The short version
Stay near Bradenton, with the trip details up front
Bradenton has two Seascape homes that handle groups of 10-16 - one waterfront with a dock, one oversized with two hot tubs and a game room. Both have private pools and book direct.
Hotels split your group across floors. AMI condos give you a beach address and a kitchen that fits four people. Large private homes in Bradenton solve the actual problem: one space, one pool, one shared kitchen, one table where everyone fits. The Oasis sleeps 16 across 5 bedrooms with a putting green, game room, two hot tubs (both included), turf yard, and grill. Dockside Dreams sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms with a private dock, pool, hot tub (included), and arcade. Both are pet-friendly.
Anna Maria Island Gulf beaches are 10-15 minutes west. IMG Academy is about 10 minutes from The Oasis and under 15 from Dockside Dreams - useful if your group is in town for a tournament or showcase. Neither home is on the water except Dockside Dreams, which sits on a canal with direct dock access. If your whole group needs a walkable island address, these homes aren't the right fit. If your group wants to be together in one place with a private pool and real space, they are.
Booking direct at seascape-vacations.com saves 10-15% versus Airbnb or VRBO. On a week-long group stay, that's a meaningful number split across the group.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What's the largest group you can accommodate?
The Oasis sleeps 16 across 5 bedrooms. Dockside Dreams sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms. Those are the two large-group options. For groups larger than 16, we can talk through coordinating nearby properties, but that's not our standard offering.
Which Seascape home fits a 10-12 person group versus a 14-16 person group?
For 14-16 guests, The Oasis is the clear call - it has the bedrooms, the two-hot-tub setup, and the extra outdoor zones. For 10-12 guests, it comes down to what matters more: if your group wants a dock and the shortest drive to Bradenton Beach, go with Dockside Dreams. If they want the biggest layout and the game room, The Oasis still works at 12.
Are the homes suitable for family reunions?
Both homes are built for groups gathering in one place. The Oasis has the largest common areas - a game room, full outdoor entertaining setup, putting green, and two included hot tubs. Dockside Dreams adds a private dock and arcade. Neither home has an on-site playground, but AMI beaches and Robinson Preserve are close.
Is there enough parking for a large group?
The Oasis fits 3+ vehicles in the driveway. Dockside Dreams fits 2+. For groups arriving in 4+ vehicles, carpooling is the practical move - street parking near both homes is limited.
Can we cook for the whole group?
Yes. Both kitchens are fully equipped for large-group meals - full-size appliances, enough cookware and dishes for the full guest count, and outdoor grills. The Oasis kitchen is larger with more counter space. Grocery delivery to the door is easy via Instacart from the Bradenton-area stores.
What group activities are available near Bradenton?
Beach days on AMI, fishing and dolphin charters out of Cortez Village, kayaking at Robinson Preserve, sunset dinners in downtown Sarasota, and tournament-adjacent activities around IMG. The homes themselves - pools, hot tubs, game room, dock - handle most of the downtime.
How do you handle check-in for large groups?
Keypad entry, no key exchange needed. Arrival instructions, door codes, WiFi, and a digital area guide go out before your trip. Local support is available by phone or text throughout your stay - not a call center.
